God Bless You and sincerely wish you well and also,that you took the time to express your own thoughts about how grief does work against us.
I believe you and now know it’s true,as it happened to me and Lauren.We were not wanting to bother each other how ill we really were.
Thank You!
God Bless You.
I truly understand about “not wanting to bother each other”. Basically, that is what I did related to my SIL’s death. She is dearer to me than my sister is, but there were others there who were closer, to wit, my brother, and my niece and nephew. I set my grief aside for a time to be available and flexible for them.
But now, I am in a totally different environment. People did, of course, notice I was gone for a month. When asked, I allow myself to tear up. And, there is a grief group beginning this Thursday. I believe I will join it. I am fairly certain that I have heard it all before, but it might be good just to sit and listen and perhaps there is something I am ignoring in my sadness surrounding Connie’s death. Being here is a safe place to address these issues while knowing that I won’t be lessening the grief Connie’s immediate family is experiencing.
